  Please take into account that all prices in Germany are "tax included".

  Regarding the kitchen-topic:<br>German here<br>When I moved into my rented apartment, the kitchen was included (provided by my landlord, about 20 years old (the kitchen, not the landlord)). <br>Two years later, the kitchen started to slowly come apart. <br><br>Since it was part of the renting-contract, I couldn´t remove/renew it without consent of my landlord.<br>Smelling the chance to get a kitchen to my liking, I offered him to replace it on my own cost, if he removes it from the contract.<br><br>His counter offer was, that I renew the kitchen to my liking, on his cost (with him consenting to the price), but it stays in the contract, meaning I can´t take it with me if I move out.<br><br>We found a consent and I got &quot;my&quot; kitchen for wich he payed almost everything.

  German here. I only have state health insurance. Every three months I need medication that ‘actually’ costs €300, but I only have to pay a prescription fee of €15 each time; the rest is paid by the health insurance company.<br>A few years ago, I needed an ambulance with an emergency doctor. I had to pay €10 for that and then another €10 per day in hospital. Everything else was paid for by my health insurance. <br>Then I spent 5 weeks in a rehabilitation clinic. This was paid for in full by the insurance company (in this case the state pension insurance). <br>Even if you are seriously ill, it doesn&apos;t ruin you financially.

  For all American watching this. Prices in Europe generally include tax and other costs. So, if see something in the shop yes it costs exactly what the label tells you, no hidden costs

  To put the rental prices into perspective: the prices in Berlin and Munich are very expensive for an average income. We are talking about an average income of around 2200 euros. Of course, you have to keep in mind that throughout Europe all taxes and health insurance and pension provisions have already been deducted, so it is a net income. Unfortunately, one important factor was not taken into account: heating and hot water must also be added to these rental prices. So it´s realistic to add around 150 to 200 euros.

  German here, born more than 20 years after WWII ended. I wholeheartedly agree with the comment you quoted. A big &quot;Thank you!&quot; to all who fought against the Nazis, especially those who gave their lives. You are heros! You made it possible that my generation could grow up in a free and democratic nation. ❤

  Great to see you both back girls, missed you.<br>As an Englishman I have great respect for German people and my view on &apos;the war&apos; is that it&apos;s history like the slave trade and has nothing to do with life today. Deepest respect for those that gave their lives in any war no matter what side they were on.
